About Baroques à Savennières
Musiques Baroques à Savennières: Where Baroque Meets the Vineyards
Since 2011, the Musiques Baroques à Savennières festival has offered the public a unique event where the most prestigious artists of baroque music highlight the landscapes and heritage of Savennières, a wine-growing village classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. This ambitious and friendly festival has become a benchmark for early music in the Pays de la Loire region in just a few years.
A Week of Exceptional Concerts
For a week in late August, the festival unfolds a rich and varied program in remarkable heritage sites: churches, castles, gardens, and wine estates of Savennières. The concerts offer a wide panorama of baroque music: works for harpsichord, baroque violin, vocal ensembles, danced concerts, and participatory baroque balls. Internationally renowned artists, often from the greatest European baroque ensembles like the Orchestra of the Royal Opera of Versailles, perform alongside promising young talents.
An Academy at the Heart of the Festival
The festival includes a baroque music academy that welcomes around twenty students from major European conservatories each year. Guided by the festival's guest artists, these young musicians participate in masterclasses and perform in dedicated concerts, offering the public a glimpse of the next generation of baroque music.
Innovative and Accessible Formats
Eager to open baroque music to the widest audience, the festival offers varied and accessible formats: commented concerts, musical naps, interactive exhibitions, "unexpected" concerts in surprising locations, afternoons for children with treasure hunts and participatory shows, danced concerts, and baroque balls open to all. The Sunday market events complement this offering by creating a link between the festival and village life.
